Bacon Wrapped Dove & Shrimp

Looks great! I have been filling mine with cream cheese.

 

That looks good! I've tried the thick bacon on duck, and ruined it. Bacon took too long to cook, and the duck was over-done. Do you ever have that issue with the dove?

 

What Jesg said below you. I just use enough bacon long enough where the two ends meat and put a toothpick in them. When I breast out my doves I pound them out flat and then use my hand tenderizer on them so their not that thick! Stevena, may try slicing your duck breasts thinner? Stick mine dove in the broiler but have to watch it close cause it doesn't take very long to get done!

 

Also use the thinnest bacon you can. I used the regular size the first go around and all I could taste the bacon! Over kill. Also use a water chestnut in the wrap.

 

Slightly precook bacon then wrap and cook the poppers. Also with cream cheese stir a little honey in it makes a big difference

 

This is what I do as well.
I take the bacon and lay it out on a cookie sheet that has 1/2'' tall sides to catch the grease and bake it off in the oven for until it's cooked a touch less than halfway
done. Then drain off grease into a Mason jar and keep it in the refer to use for cooking potatoes, eggs or anything that calls for a little food lube.
Wrap the dove, duck, goose or venison poppers with the precooked bacon then you can cook the bird or deer to med. rare to med. and the bacon will be done without killing the birds second time.
For me the key is cooking them hot and fast right over the coals, turning often to keep them from burning.

 

You say that like it's a bad thing?
